Attach the Guy Wires
Organize and layout the lifters and guy wires
Sort out and identify the guy wires and place three sets at each guy ring level. These guy wires are all the same
length and are interchangeable. Sort out and identify each lifter wire. The lifter wires are NOT interchangeable. The
lifter wires are color coded and are assigned to the guy ring shown in the table below. You will have 12 guy wires
and 4 lifter wires. All wires MUST be placed correctly.
Highest level = 4 (yellow)
Guy Ring Level

Table 3
Identify the lifter wire for each level. It is recommended that back guy wires (the guy wires opposite the winch) are
attached to their guy rings, rolled out, and secured to their anchors first, followed by the side guy wires to eliminate
crossing.
Shackle guy wires to the guy rings
Secure the back guy wires first to their corresponding guy rings using the shackles. Attach the guy wires to the guy
ring holes under the tower tube. Roll out the back guy wires to their anchor points and secure as described below.
Next secure the side guy wires to their corresponding guy rings using the shackles. These guy wires will attach to
the side guy ring holes. Roll the side guy wires out to their anchor points and secure as described below.
Roll out each guy wire from the tower to its anchor point
Roll out side and back guy wires from their guy rings to their anchor points. Do not allow twists or kinks in the guy
wires. The guy wire and lifter coils can be uncoiled in a hand over hand method while walking out towards each
anchor or unrolled
using a “Hankmaster 5000” tool (see Appendix F).
